Thanks for the great comments and feedback everyone! If I had 6 hours to talk about this stuff there still wouldn’t be enough time for me to talk about it because I enjoy it so much, so I hope you got some good info in this hour with Sterling, Jay and I!

For example I have a website (http://www.LimitlessMindset.com) that is ranked in the #1 position (using pagewash.com and multiple other computers) on Google for the search phrase ‘how to be limitless’. According to Google key traffic tool the MONTHLY search volume for this phrase is 1.5 million searches globally and +300,000 locally. I’ve been ranked #1 for this phrase for several months now and I know from my Google Analytics that I have never gotten more than a couple couple hundred unique visitors a month from this phrase.

I could post many screen shots from my various website’s analytics accounts proving this… In fact I once paid $400 for a domain name for a phrase that should have gotten +1500 high commercial intent hits monthly. After spending months doing SEO I got my site ranked #1 and never got more than 200 unique visitors a month from the phrase. That phrase was ‘Denver marketing firm’.

Pat’s a great guy and I appreciate your podcast but you guys need to be warning your listeners of the terrible inaccuracy of the Google keyword tool.

Thanks, Sterling, Jay and Pat! I so enjoy your podcasts and I listen to them over and over in order to make sure I catch everything!

Since this episode with the Pat Flynn interview, I have spent several hours trying to figure out how to get Google Chrome (is it a browser function? and the Google keyword tool) to display the Google Toolbar pagerank, so that I could perform the keyword research tests Pat describes. How can I view the Google toolbar pagerank? I have been unsucessful in finding this feature, and have checked to make sure I had the most recent version of Chrome. Google shows a video showing how to select the “pagerank” icon, but I don’t have the option for it — it is not listed in my Google tools where the video describes it would be, so I can’t select it obviously. Advise, anyone?

Do I need to be logged in to my google account in order to view the Google toolbar pagerank for different sites?
Sorry I am not tracking better on this one…just working on my keyword research and hoping to follow Pat’s system as closely as I can.
Thank you and Happy Holidays! You guys are awesome!
